sprawozdawc

Sprawozdawca is a Polish noun meaning a person who reports information. In journalism it refers to a reporter or correspondent who gathers facts and communicates them to the public. In official and legislative contexts it also denotes a rapporteur or relator who prepares and presents a report on a draft act or issue for a committee or assembly.

The standard form is sprawozdawca, with feminine sprawozdawczyni and plural sprawozdawcy (masculine) or sprawozdawczynie (feminine). The word derives from the verb sprawozdawać (to report) and from sprawozdanie (a report).

Common usages include sprawozdawca radiowy or sprawozdawca telewizyjny for broadcast reporters, and sprawozdawca komisji for the parliamentary role of drafting and presenting a committee’s report. In Polish legislative language and in EU documents, the term often corresponds to the English “rapporteur.”

The form sprawozdawc is not standard in Polish; it is generally regarded as an error or a nonstandard variant. Readers encountering it should consider sprawozdawca as the correct form. Related terms include sprawozdanie (a report) and raportować (to report).
